    Good place to start, a quick visual at the radiator, all the hoses and your engine for leaks, check the clutch on your fan and if all looks good, replace your thermostat Over heatingOver heating

    Mine started overheating, turned out to be the fan clutch.
    With the engine off, turn the fan by hand, mine was moving with very little effort.
    Once the new clutch was fitted, it was much stiffer to turn.
    I haven't had any issues since.
    It's an easy fix if that's your problem.
    Could be radiator, I'd also check your water pump for movement, while you are cheking the fan, give it a wiggle from side to side, look for any movement from the water pump that might indicate bearing wear. Also have a look at the weep hole on the pump for any evidence of coolant.
    As Gav110 suggested, could also be thermostat.
    Hope that helps.
